Tubby

The effect food can have on an animal. And it's not like I overfeed her, she doesn't get as much exercise as I would like for her. Well, like owner like pet. :P

Sleep Goof

Performing Michael Jackson's Thriller in her sleep, now that's talent.

Here we have view from the human...took me 10 shots to get this right, in between the suppressed giggles and bad aiming.

I guess the term to use here is "dead to the world" or "out like a light" or...look at that smooshed ear! Aaargh

Here is the final shot with the intrusive human presence removed. She didn't even bat a paw.

Caturday Returns!!!

"How could you let almost a week go by without Caturday? We have barely begun to clear the backlog and I'm already pooped."

Here is Tuffie using my gut as a pillow, as usual. Bring on the purrs!

Whew, crazyness at work is finally over (for now), and my iMac is back to it's spiffy self! Of course it is purring along with Leopard now :D Turns out Apple sent me the wrong upgrade disk. Well blah, I have my Time Machine! And BootCamp! Now gimme my Bioshock!!! :D

Accessorizin'

What's dis? No Caturday for 3 days??! >:( Gah, a failed upgrade meant I wiped my machine :( Luckily I have my stuff backed up...but restoring all the programs and preferences are a pain. Not to mention I still have to get the OS upgraded at some point. Grrrr

Anyways, enough about Mac woes, here's some grade-A c-a-t:

Alright! Tuffie's got a collar now, courtesy of Sonia's mom :D I must say, the hot pink is very fetching on her! ;)

Ooooh yeah Caturday with my spanking new collarzzzZ.

I suspect she was already used to wearing a collar with a bell as she didn't make the slightest fuss, although she could have been distracted by the scent of $40+ iams food...also courtesy of Sonia's mom. She's spoiling my cat rotten! :P
*Tuffie says much thanks btw, she loves the food!*

Oh gosh, the pattern is too fitting. A puppy face. Soooo like the personality of the wearer. The owner is much amused. :)

Vectorized

The original - just look at that silly face. :)

Approx 1 hours in Illustrator...I'm planning to do more of this silly cat but haven't found the time yet.

Cat In A Box

What is going on here?

The aftermath of KittehRage (note shredded box side).

Now it's "Fun With Ribbons(TM)" time! Box takes +1000 damage x-x

Tuffie spends hours amusing herself with empty boxes as well as using appropriated scrunched up paper balls as paw balls - she'll bat them all over the house...and she ignores the rest of the expensive cat toys I bought for her. That's the power of marketing for you.
(-_-) = gullible hooman.

Tidbit: This box is the same box we used to bring Tuffie into our home, maybe that's why she has such an attachment to it. :) --> Go back in the day

Spoilage

Utter relaxashions.

Totally, totally lovin' it. Life's goooooood for this here cat.

Kitty spoilt by Andochan :D

Fun with Macro

Her nose is blingin'

Big head.

Awwww it's just Tuffie's fat head :)

Sleepsercise

Step one: Streeeetch those muscles out~

Step two: Flex those paws!

Step three: Work those neck muscles!

Final step: Stomach curl

Rinse and repeat 4 times and your kitteh would have mastered sleepsercise and get toned up while they are asleep...that's 16+ hours a day!

Do Not Disturb

"Wake me when it's 2009 kthxbai"

Owner's Notes: Twas a chilly day. For a tropical country that means 25 degrees Celsius/77 degrees Fahrenheit. Brrrrr, bring out the winter jacket ma!

Dainty Floppage

She spazzed out for half an hour then totally went "flumph" on the sofa...battery level = 0.1%

Contemplation (Gut Fat Overlapping Hind Paws)

This is the embodiment of the phrase: "made sleek by food". That spine stripe amuses me to no end, it makes her colouration look suspiciously like that of a Russian dwarf hamster. Sometimes I do think what I've got here is an oversized hamster that hoards her food at the gut instead of the cheeks.

Another Perspective Challenge

This should be called the perspective-altering couch, look at that pseudo standing attitude.

Illusion broken! False perspective only lasts so long.
Now back to your regularly scheduled Caturday~

My posts might start to become more sparse this few months (hopefully will be back to normal by end of March). Work is starting to go full gear and well, that's where my priorities lie. Though I will find time to sneak a Caturday in whenever I can ;P

Screwing Wit Ur Mind

"Nooooo" - slipping down an inclined slope.

"Wha? Ok lah dere is no slope, I gotta find ways to amuse myself when you guys are out ya know. Pfft boring humans."

As you can see, Tuffie is doing well after having her stitches out on Saturday. Though she did pull a partial diva routine after coming from the vet where she was wrestled by 3 humans trying to hold her still so the good doctor can cut the stitches with minimal damage...Well, we survived, and she rewarded us by scarfing down food so now she is even denser than she was before ;P

Paw Prints In The Dirt

This is ridiculous...no wonder I have a healthy soil layer on my tabletop now.

And here's the culprit, chillin' innocently. -_-

Then And Now, A Pillow's Perspective

This was then:
Just a little lackluster here...

Butt hanging off...all bony and pale.

And this is now:

Butt still hanging off...but look at how she's grown!

"Whadda ya mean cat loaf strikes again? Come closer so I can swat you with mai paw."

Goodbye Mr. Ginger Cat

Moar!

This is Mr. Ginger Cat. He was one of the strays that I have been feeding for over 2 months now. At the beginning he was such a scrawny thing, all legs and tail. His fur was sparse and his colour was pale. I brought him to the vet to be vaccinated, de-wormed and de-fleaed. Also to make sure he wasn't harbouring an illness or something. Well, the vet said he seemed fine other than a bit undernourished, so I would feed him and 2 other strays regularly in the evenings.

One wiry cat and one wiry brother (legs).

He's extremely affectionate. Here he was rubbing snot on my jeans.

Ginger Cat face-off with the Sick Cat. Here was another stray that was in worse shape than he is - he had a perpetual bleeding nose, possibly cancerous in origin. I have yet to be able to feed him or bring him to the vet as he makes himself extremely scarce.

Last Thursday I went down to feed the cats as usual. Later I will have to make a proper introduction for the motley bunch of strays that wander about my apratment. Anyways Ginger Cat is always first in line once he smells food or hears me calling, so I was a bit weirded out when only Tortie and Cute cat appeared. Well, it was heat season, so I thought Ginger had gone off exploring and didn't think too much of it. He had begun to show improvement in that his coat was growing back and his colour was much better. He has also bulked up a bit.

Well, 2 days passed and still no sign of the Ginger cat. We didn't see him until Saturday evening; me and my brother found him in a drain drinking. But when I offered him food he did not seem interested. Then he started coughing and retching. I couldn't help him as the vets were closed until Monday, and he still looked ok despite the dry heaves...

...but come Sunday morning he was dead. :( It must have been something internal, I have no clue. It was so sudden too, as he did not seem sick, but then cats have a way of hiding their discomfort that could be detrimental to getting them swift treament. I miss this guy :(. Every morning if he sees me before I go to work he'll come and get a pet or two. I miss his boisterous presence when I go down to feed him in the evenings. I was planning to get him fixed, then find a permanent home for him (since Tuffie is adamant that she is to be the only cat in our household). I wish I could have hugged and spoilt him more, but at least he is not suffering anymore.

R.I.P. Mr. Ginger Cat.

I Slept Through 2007?!!!

...what!

Ehem, and a happy 2008 to the rest of you too. ;P
